| contents | Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate strong performance in text summarization, yet their effectiveness drops significantly across languages with restricted training resources. This work addresses the challenge of query-focused summarization (QFS) in less-resourced languages, where labeled datasets and evaluation tools are limited. We present a novel QFS framework, QFS-Composer, that integrates query decomposition, question generation (QG), question answering (QA), and abstractive summarization to improve the factual alignment of a summary with user intent. We test our approach on the Slovenian language. To enable high-quality supervision and evaluation, we develop the Slovenian QA and QG models based on a Slovene LLM and adapt evaluation approaches for reference-free summary evaluation. Empirical evaluation shows that the QA-guided summarization pipeline yields improved consistency and relevance over baseline LLMs. Our work establishes an extensible methodology for advancing QFS in less-resourced languages. |
